Then in the mid 60's the gentlemen moved to the desert and took it apart in the garage to put a Hemi and Olds rear end under the car and there it sat till yesterday.

    Wow, that is so cool. Good luck with the find. Back in the day we older folks used to find those all the time. Too bad we didn't know what we know now.

    I wish all these old cherry cars sitting in barns and garages would send me an email to come pick them up.

    Great Scoop!
    Goes to show "They are still out there"
    And, as a man after my own heart......"He who hesitates is is lost"
    Glad to see you didn't waste time thinking about it.
    Good Roads

    It is painted in an old army surplus green from mid 60's but can see some yellow on the door would be awesome to find some old photos of it running around riverside it would have been painted yellow with a red Firewall running a built Flathead if anyone remembers seeing the car

    I'd sell off the other projects and build the 34, but I'm crazy over 34 Coupes. It's cool though that you're letting it go rather than sitting on it forever. The car deserves to be built and I'm sure it'll go to a worthy builder. Just hoping it gets built up as a traditional Hot Rod!

    What a screamin find!

    Holy Shi#!. That's like a Holy Grail of Hot Rods.
    I also hope to see it's traditional Hot Rod future, on the HAMB. Please don't let some Billet Street Rodder get a hold of that car.
